Greetings PRSA Sailors!
A new set of the Racing Rules of Sailing comes into effect in 2025. You can access the 2025-2028 rules via US Sailing here: https://www.ussailing.org/competition/rules-officiating/the-racing-rules-of-sailing-2025-2028/. There are some substantive changes that we all need to know, including changes to the rules concerning Obstructions, Mark-Room, Rule 17 on sailing a proper course, and Rule 18 on rounding marks. These are all common racing situations that often become contentious. Now is a great time to review the new rules.
Prag located this SpinSheet article summarizing some of the major rules updates (thanks Prag!): https://www.spinsheet.com/racing/racing-rules-sailing-new-quad-new-rules
ASA is holding a webinar with US Sailing rules expert Dave Perry on January 29 ($39 fee): https://asa.com/online-class/racing-rules-2025-2028/?omnisendContactID=5fca81d51971970939e4d96a&utm_campaign=seamanship-part2&utm_medium=email&utm_source=northu
We (PRSA) will also try to organize a seminar or webinar to discuss the updated RRS, so please stay tuned for more information.
Cheers,
